Draft:Andrew Martin International

Andrew Martin is a British Interior Design company and producer of fabrics, wallpaper, furniture, and accessories. The London-based design house has four showrooms: Walton Street Flagship, Tottenham Court Road, Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, and Wimbledon Outlet.

History
Andrew Martin was founded by Martin Waller and opened its first store in Richmond-upon-Thames, London, England in 1978. The store relocated to Walton Street in South Kensington, in 1987. Over the years there have been flagship showrooms in Moscow, Dubai, Cairo, Beijing, Mumbai, Marbella and nine US cities including New York and Los Angeles.

The term ‘fusion interiors’ was coined by the brand to define its multi-cultural, eclectic style. It was also the title of Waller’s book, published in 2000 by Pavilion in the UK and Watson-Guptill in the US.

Andrew Martin has collaborated on designs with the Andy Warhol Foundation, The Elvis Presley Estate, The National Gallery, Holly Frean, Kit Kemp, Kelly Hoppen MBE and Sophie Paterson, and has produced licensed products and collections for the John Lewis Partnership, Harrods, The British Museum , Restoration Hardware and TK Maxx.

The International Interior Designer of the Year Awards
In 1996 Martin Waller founded the Interior Designer of the Year Awards which The Sunday Times called, “the Oscars of the Interior Design world.” Each year a panel of judges, which have included Gordon Ramsey, Jo Malone, Thandie Newton, Anya Hindmarch and Sarah, Duchess of York, chooses a designer who they deem has best captured the zeitgeist of the year.
